Naked cats, also known as Sphynx cats, are not actually completely hairless. They have a fine layer of downy fuzz that covers their body, and some individuals may have a thin layer of hair on certain parts of their body, such as their tail, feet, or nose.
Sphynx cats are a relatively new breed, first appearing in the 1960s. They are the result of a natural genetic mutation, and were developed through selective breeding.
Contrary to popular belief, naked cats are not hypoallergenic. While they may produce less dander than other breeds, they still produce the same allergenic proteins in their saliva, skin, and urine as all other cats. People with cat allergies should still proceed with caution around Sphynx cats.
